Starting point is 00:00:00 The McElroy brothers are not experts, and their advice should never be followed. Travis insists he's a sexpert, but if there's a degree on his wall, I haven't seen it. Also, this show isn't for kids, which I mentioned only so the babies out there will know how cool they are for listening. What's up, you cool baby? How close, how close do you think you came to just eating right there? You just almost ate so much shit. Almost ate it. That would have been so bad. But it did something for Kelsey Grammer, right? We all remember when he ate shit famously off
Starting point is 00:00:59 that one stage, next year, Finding Neverland will call them up. Hey, are you Frasier and also the guy who ate shit off that one stage? Love that, dude. Real good. Do you think if you'd fall off the stage, like Frasier would have called you and doesn't like, hey, you're in the club? Welcome to the club. That's not how the show starts. You're right. Hold on. Hello and welcome to my brother. My brother me and advice show for the modern era. I'm your oldest brother, Justin McElroy. And I'm your middle as brother, Travis McElroy. And I'm your sweet baby brother in 30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy. I'm sorry for the faces I made during the first 30 seconds or so of us being on stage.
Starting point is 00:01:57 We ate a lot of velvet taco. But the important thing is not how much we ate, I would argue. But in fact, the timeline in which we ate it, because they'd arrived five minutes ago. We slammed it. We've been making noises that are not the traditional toots and burps. But new sounds, exciting sounds from new places. New fresh sounds. If you fill the bagpipe with Jell-O and maybe some GAC from the 90s, we made a, we made a, a blump and I, it came from my chest. My elbow made a slurp sound. We had a, this is not a joke. We had a pretty serious two minute conversation backstage where we try to think if we could make a bit out of us needing like five minutes just to sit up here
Starting point is 00:02:51 while you talk amongst yourselves to digest. And we promised like we'd like, we'd get you back at the end. We'd go longer. Like we weren't wasting your time. We just needed some time up here. We, so, so far here in Dallas, we did The Adventure Zone last night and thank you very much. It's a D&D podcast that we, well, it's an RPG podcast, but it's been a very eventful two days. So we did the show and also there was like some kind of, there was like a college prom last night, like an SMU formal. In our hotel. At our hotel, literally outside my window. And y'all, our nation is facing a crisis. And it's that there hasn't been a party rock anthem released in like eight years. Cause they were playing no joke, fucking back to back shots.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah. Gangnam style. Yeah. And it's like, are, are we just done? Did, did side do gangnam style? And we're like, that's it. No more party rock anthem. It'll be fair. Yeah. Oh, they also played party rock anthem. Um, but another Joe. So Conn I Joe was in there also, which is yeah. Okay. But, but, but what you're wondering about, sometimes dad comes to us before we go on stage, like when we first arrived in a city, it usually is within the first 12 hours of arriving on the scene. Dad comes to us and he says, Hey, I've got your pre show bit. And he doesn't say it in those words. He says it with other words. But what we hear is, Hey, good news, your pre show bit is settled. Our dad brushed his teeth with capsaicin cream. So what's that? And you don't know capsaicin is a,
Starting point is 00:04:41 it's a cream people use for pain relief. And the capsaicin is of course the same chemical in very hot peppers. And here's the thing when papa told us that I would have equally believed a mistake or I was curious. Yeah. I wanted to try. I wanted, I just wanted to find out. Let me find out. Maybe he did it for his sons who he loves so they could have a good intro bit for podcasts. That would be the only thing to explain why he does it every fucking time. Well, and this is the thing. This is a new creams. I should know, not always capsaicin. It's always some different. I think that this is a very insightful to see like the chain from our dad to us because how it works, your story goes in here. So dad will do
Starting point is 00:05:31 something embarrassing and then tell us in an embarrassed way, but then get a funny reaction to it. And eventually he's bragging about it to people like where he'll say like, I don't tell people about how I brush my teeth. Which is actually very instructive in your own life. If you have shame, try to own it like our dad does. Yeah. Our dad's like, if our dad fucks up super bad, he feels bad about it. And by the end of the week, he's like, could we do a t-shirt of this bad thing that I did? This bad fuck up that I fucked up. It's a good launch pad for your children's careers too. And I don't even know if you were thinking about it that way. For instance, 20 years ago, when he cut his butt wide open with a window
Starting point is 00:06:08 scream and had to duct tape it shut with a maxi pad. I don't know if he was thinking about it when he did it like, ow, they're gonna love this though. I don't know if he was thinking about it when he held a huge tray of cold cuts and a truck drove past him so close that it hit him with the side view mirror and sent fucking ham flying everywhere. Now I know you're asking, where was he? How close do you have to me to have cold cuts and truck? I think it was just like at the park. Who was in the wrong place? The truck or our dad? I'm a very clear memory of being like 12 years old and driving to the hospital and a lady that dad worked with was praying over him. And I can very much remember thinking he does not deserve that. Ma'am, please do not bother God
Starting point is 00:06:54 with this, okay? What happened? The truck and cold cuts. That is the first time I've heard that one. Yeah, that was me. I'm trying to launch a comedy podcast up here. See you in 20 years, boys. Wait, what? What? So anyway, we are going to be making a ham delivery tomorrow and get hit by one big truck and it'll be a beautiful karmic moment. So as you've almost certainly guessed, we do an advice show. Untraditional, but you want to start with a yahoo? I do want to start with a yahoo. This one was, this one was sent in by Merritt Palmer. Thank you, Merritt. It's yahoo answers user. Question mark? But not like it's not loading properly. That's their fucking name. That's what they've gone with. Question mark asks, I have an idea for a syrup. How can I go about
Starting point is 00:07:46 selling it commercially? You've heard of maple syrup. Have you heard of weeping willow syrup? It's a new, it doesn't have syrup in it. How did you, I squeezed it so hard. I don't even think this person has gotten to the production stage. Yeah. It sounds like what they have done and said, I know a flavor I like is tomatoes. I know I love the viscosity of syrup. How can I bring these two things together? There's that one weeping willow. Honey, wake up. I've done it. Stone syrup. What? Stone syrup. What's the most expensive substance on earth? Diamonds. I'd like to talk to you today. It looks like Mark's out. He does not want to invest in diamond syrup. I have a new idea for syrup. Have we not explored all of the syrup that there is?
Starting point is 00:08:49 Apparently not. Because here's the thing, if this is just like add flavor to it, like blueberry, it's maple syrup but with blueberry in it, that's nothing. That's nothing. I can do that. We're all doing our own flavor experiments at home with syrup all the time. What is this new syrup that's going to change the fucking game? Maybe it's not the flavor. It is the practical use case of the syrup. Okay. Engine syrup. Engine syrup. Make your car go zoom. Make your car sweet, sweet operation on this car. Edible. Edible engine syrup, finally. Anytime. Every pour motor oil in your car and think, fuck, that looks good. Listen, we've all been there. Now it's engine syrup. We've rebranded. Can we frame it so that you're,
Starting point is 00:09:39 we frame it that your car is a hungry mouth? Yes. And then all the stuff you put into it is food for car. Listen, we got engine syrup. We got go soup. We got it all. We got bottom donuts. What tires? Yes. Okay. I call those bottom donuts now. That sounds deeply sexual. Yes. Yes. That's part of the appeal. It's going to make it pop on the aisle of the pet boys. That's very on trend with millennials. We need tire. These bottom donuts cost $200 more than the tires. That's right. But they're so sexual. You also, I know you meant like A-I-S-L-E of the pet boys, but what I heard was aisle of the pet boys. Welcome to pet boys aisle. Can you survive? There's three of us and one of you do the math.
Starting point is 00:10:37 How about a question? The problem with new syrup. Okay. If you're saying what the name of it is, it's going to be confusing if it goes on that thing or not. Maple syrup, no one thinks, oh, I'm going to put syrup on a maple. That doesn't make any sense. What? Hot dog syrup is like. Oh, shit. Is this flavored like a hot dog in syrup form? Or is this syrup for my hot dog? That's the biggest problem with hot dog syrup. I absolutely agree. Yeah. No matter which way that cookie crumbles, it's going to be a hard pass. It's going to be a firm no. What if it's bet? Like, what if white griff? Uh-huh. What if it's good? The other thing. Oh, yeah. You didn't tell me it was good hot dog syrup. No, it's obviously good hot dog syrup. Now, does that mean the hot dog syrup is
Starting point is 00:11:34 good or that it was expressed from good hot dog syrup? Is it good? Why is Mark Cuban giving me all this money? He loves it. Here's a question from somebody here. Recently, my boyfriend started up a blogging platform for reviewing pizza from local establishments. Everything from the info pages to the username are pizza themed. The problem is he doesn't review the pizza, but instead reviews the establishment's features and amenities such as the civilware, table mats, and bathrooms. He usually concludes a review with a single sentence about the pizza. Yep. Usually something brief and simple like the margarita pizza was okay. How do I help him improve his platform's reach and review quality while hinting to him that not even trying to review the pizza he
Starting point is 00:12:27 eats at different locations is probably not the best idea. And that's for frustrated and flower mount. Are you here? Okay, wait. Hold on. Hello. Thank you for coming. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for buying a ticket. Thank you for sitting in a question. I do have to ask, is boyfriend here? Okay, so this fucking kills me. So I guess you found a way to tell him, huh? Fuck. You're just gonna fucking enlist me in your struggles. Okay. What I got here is step one. I now he had to hear it from his all time hero. Okay. Great. It's the opposite of hitting a home run for the sick kid in the hospital. This is the opposite version of that. It's hitting it, but it smashes through the window and hits the sick kid because everybody else is going to love
Starting point is 00:13:17 the great home run. Except for that one. You have one like crazy long hair. Are you seeing this shit? Whoa. Holy shit. Don't derail the show. They're not going to be able to enjoy that. Get it out. Get it out. It was so long. Here's the thing. Question asker. You are wrong. Sorry. Sorry. And boyfriend blogger is right. It sounds great. Honestly, it sounds great. That's all I want. When I go on Yelp, I don't care about the fucking food. Charles Dickens could write a book called A Tale of Three Pizzas in which he takes 600 pages to describe the three most lovely pizzas he's ever eaten. That's not going to put the fucking pizza in my mouth, Charles. All I need is one sentence that's just is it good or is it okay or is it bad? And then if you want to dedicate a whole
Starting point is 00:14:20 blog post to, for instance, do the locks on the bathroom. Doors work properly. Now you're in my fucking wheelhouse. Not only do they fucking work, but does it look like they've put six different lock options? I don't trust that shit. This is all I think about any time I go. I scope out the B room and I make sure that it's good for me. Six locks and only one of them works. What makes me think that sixth one is not going to give out during my tenure? That actually, we're going to get back to this in one second. I did want to briefly derail right before the show. I walked, there's a long hall away from our dressing room that goes to the bathroom and there was a security guard sitting in the hall. So don't fucking try anything. Nice try.
Starting point is 00:15:05 And as I passed him, I'm sort of, I don't know what to, I always feel indebted like thank you for protecting my life. So I give him like a, I told, I actually told him, I just ate too many tacos. And then I was going, I went to the bathroom and the bathroom didn't have a lock on it. And then I was like, well, I don't know what to do. And then I was like, well, there's that security guard. And it's not exactly clear where he's guarding, but if he's trying to guard me and your treasure and my sort of continued existence, I did go back out and ask him like, if you do see anybody, if anybody, if anybody's coming this way, just give him a heads up because I have no lock. I don't think he said, yeah, why do you think I'm here? That's why I'm here,
Starting point is 00:15:56 Justin. Don't worry about it to guard your bathroom experience. Yeah, dude, I know. I know. Yeah, dude, don't tell me how to do my job. Oh, when I'm looking up restaurant reviews, all I care about is like, I need a whole review that's just like, you won't regret coming here. And I don't mean the food. I mean, you Travis McRoy will feel like you've made the right choice. The right choice. Oh boy. If you could have it in review, whether or not there is Czech candy. So, you know, going in that you're going to get Czech candy. Would you want that? I think I would. But wait, isn't that a spoiler? Isn't that very exciting? One of the few joys of adult life when the Czech comes, you're like,
Starting point is 00:16:46 oh, but then there's like an Andy's Mint. You're like, okay. Oh, but it could also be free food. Nice. I guess I got one over on you. Well, I guess I will be having dessert tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Unless. Unless. It's one of those green mints and you don't know whether it's tropical flavored or spear mint. No stars. Great ambiance. Pizza's the best I've ever eaten. They gave me one of those tricky mints. I will tell you what would give me a no star review right off the bat. No clear indication as to whether I should ask for the check or walk up and pay at the counter. That is a that is a no star review for me right now. I can't. I've sat at a table for 20 minutes because there's nothing worse than the fear of like just going up to somebody like, here is this.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Is this for you? Are you an adult? Are you? Can you handle this? I just want to go. Fix for me. Fix for Justin. Here is money. Justin, give money. You at leave. And have you ever noticed that when you do get it wrong and you try to give your waitress the money, they will fucking destroy every time they are so pleased to be able to say, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're gonna have to march up there and face what you did alone and buy some chicklets too. I have a Yahoo here. This one was sent in by Adrian Cowles. Thank you. Adrian sent in a ton of good ones. Thank you. It's from Cool Cat4567 who had whose fucking house was on fire, but they just had to pick a Yahoo name real fast. Cool Cat4567. Cool Cat's taking shit. Get the dog. I'm a Cool Cat. What else matters?
Starting point is 00:18:35 Uh, I touched a supposedly haunted piano that didn't know was haunted. Am I screwed? Okay, wait. Read it one more time. Yeah, there's something. I touched, I touched a supposedly haunted piano comma that didn't know was haunted comma. Am I screwed? Are they saying? Is this another hot dog syrup situation? No, are they saying the piano didn't know it was haunted? Like the piano is haunted, but the piano is not aware of the status. There's no such thing as a piano ghost, which is to say a piano that gets killed in a terrible passion and then levitate spirit. A piano, but what about those pianos that like fall when they're trying to hoist it up? Still no spectral energy, latent spectral energy inside the piano. Now a human ghost gets put in
Starting point is 00:19:29 the piano. Now we're talking. Now we're cooking, baby. Now we've got no ferro vehicle. Do they know that they're a piano? Second question, does the piano know it's a ghost? You know, one funny thing about me, hey, other fellow living humans, one weird thing about me is when people tickle me, I sing beautiful music. Not words, just kind of a beautiful music. Kind of a I love that. This could be one of those good ghost movies and he's trying to like tell his wife and kids, I love you. I miss you. I'm sorry about the big wreck I did. I beefed it. I did so bad on the carpet. And they see him and he's like, wait, I love you. I have so much in here. But then the wife and kids just hear pling pling plong plong plong plong plong. Run away.
Starting point is 00:20:17 No, scary piano. And by the way, and so he literally has to be self taught how to play piano. Yes, backwards because he's inside. By the way, Black Mirror season five trademark trademark trademark. Obviously we're going to sell it. I've got it. I've got it. I've got it. I've got the setup. Piano falls from a crane, crushes a person, they rebuild the piano, they rebuild the piano. What's that? Now the spear or maybe the whole person's in there. I don't know how good they are rebuilding pianos. Maybe it's every time you hit that the second octave F sharp key. See your person like, I'm in this one. I'm sorry, Steve, you're half piano man now. You're a piano man. Yeah, I can now sing us a song.
Starting point is 00:21:05 He's piano man, but he does have a gun that comes out of his leg. And he uses to shoot burps. It's weird. It's not connected. He actually had that before the accident, before the accident. And we thought there's a way since because you were already part robot. Hey, piano man is actually pretty good. Like a ghost that's half piano, half fan. That's actually pretty good. Yeah, try a good joke. No, no, no, no. Like good idea to sell. Oh, okay. I was saying that people always tell us we don't appreciate Travis's jokes enough. And so I wanted to put a pin in this one so that they would stop telling me that. Hang a lantern on it. What's that? A quick drink. I'm ready to do more podcasts. Okay. And we're back. Hello. Welcome
Starting point is 00:21:45 back. You've joined us already in progress. Okay. I'll take drinks more often than my boss has a habit of coming out of his office into the bullpen loudly saying a single word then returning to his office. Mostly these words pertain to our work meeting parking cash cattle cattle. Okay. Cattle. We got to park the cows. Sheephole. Whoa, boss. But yesterday, I was having free bird yesterday. I was having lunch and eating a slice of homemade cake at my desk. My boss walked past my cubicle and shouted cake and stood there. Nice. I made awkward eye contact for about 15 seconds and said, yes. And then turned around and 15 seconds is the perfect comedy amount of time to have waited
Starting point is 00:22:49 for that. Actually, you know what? I'm just going to use the timer right here. Jesus Christ. This is what that would have felt like. Okay. I'll be the person and you'll be the boss. Okay. Ready? Yes. It's perfect. And that's 15 seconds of podcast that we don't have to do. It's just done. We'll edit that down. When you listen to it at home later, it'll be more like eight seconds. Um, I may, uh, then I turn around in my chair and I ate my cake while not looking up to make further eye contact. So you don't know how much longer the boss was there days. Did my boss want some of my cake? Did he want a conversation about the cake? Brothers, what should I do next time?
Starting point is 00:23:43 He addresses one of these one word shouts in my direction. That's from caked and confused in Caltown. Maybe your boss had only ever read about cake, but never actually seen it. And there's that fluffy stuff. And then when you confirmed his identity, yes, nailed it. Great. No, because if that was the case, like nobody hears about cake their whole life, sees cake for the first time and is like, all right, bye. Anyway, cool. I'm going to walk away with that taste of that wonderful stuff. I want, I wish that then boss would move to next cubicle and just be like cereal or no, not at this one. No cake here. Keep looking. No. And then somebody's like eight cubicles down eating cake. Like, oh, fuck. Is it possible that this is not just a boss,
Starting point is 00:24:36 but it is a boss baby or a big situation or both big boss baby, which is the premise of the question we're talking about now. And also the villain of the next Metal Gear Solid game. Very excited about that. Just confirmed actually just confirmed a big boss baby baby climbed up into the Zoltan machine because that's what they do. I've had a baby for 16 months and I get like nine, 10 claw machines. Can't take this kid to a Dave and Buster's. One time he got stuck in two different claw machines at one Dave and Buster's trip. What am I supposed to do? Stop going to Dave and Buster's. Watch your kid. Come on. Got blown up into Tom Hanks, showed up to work the next day. Apple. No. What? Juice. No, okay. You want juice? You want juice? Juice.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yes, you want juice. Apple. Apple. Do you want apple juice or do you want an apple? Cake. No, no, no. What are you even saying no to? You're my boss. Boss. You can't cry from me. You're my boss. Boom, boom. Did you make boom, boom? You're my boss. I don't have to clean that up. Yes. This is the role Tom was born to play. Now, in order for this to work, the role that Tom Hanks was born to play was in the music video for I Really, Really Like You. Every other role has been canceling. It has to be like a couple of times it's really paid off and they're like this guy's got some great idea. So I was like, I don't know, we need to get some new computers for the office. But what kind should we get? Apple. Hey, that's a good idea. And the year is 1983. So he's like very.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Yeah, it's cutting it sort of out in front of it. Computers, I mean, and this man's name was Steve Jobs. And they were like, what's an Apple computer? And he's like, exactly. Welcome to the future. Start making them. I get nervous. Yeah, I just know here's why I get nervous because we're about halfway through what we're calling Act One of tonight's festivities. And usually that's where you say, yeah, Griffin, go ahead and do your work up there. And then I start doing my work and you're tapping on the iPad a lot. This is popped up. I just got a notification. This just popped up. Wait, what app do you get ghost notification haunted doll notifications? If I told you that
Starting point is 00:27:26 everybody would get it in the segment wouldn't be special anymore. Okay. It's Google Maps. Google Maps. Tablefuls thing they're doing haunted porcelain doll with orbs slash paranormal slash stunning. We never we talk about the orbs so much we never talk about how beautiful these dolls are. She's about to condition all caps in quotes exclamation point. Wonderful. Okay. What does that mean? The condition of this doll is wonderful. First off, check out the orbs. I had a mouthful of drink when you check the peep the orbs check out those or those orbs though like a 1980s music video.
Starting point is 00:28:36 What those orbs do though? They'll fuck with your remote control. You cannot get this hung up on each line. Okay, because it is like there's other journeys to go on here. This doll looks just like a real little girl. Such a realistic face. An absolutely gorgeous doll. Her pictures do not do her justice. Hey lady, she's got a beauty that moves. Hey lady, if the pictures don't do her justice, take more pictures. It's a doll. It doesn't mind. Take more pictures until you get a picture that does it justice. Get some glamour shots. Here's a doll from an investigation in Savannah, Georgia. Cold spots are often found in the room that she's placed in. Also thumping in the middle of the night.
Starting point is 00:29:29 I have captured orbs in second photo, so check it out. They want to make sure you've seen the orbs. We have also seen- We are currently reading more of the description without going to look at the orbs though which is kind of speaks to what we do on the show with Haunted Doll Watch that somebody just said, I captured ghost orbs in a photo and Justin said, I'll get to those ghost orbs later. I have to keep reading. Okay, well then I'm gonna have to go. What are you typing? What could you control F ghost orbs? I'm picking up the second image. Whoa, check out those orbs. The orbs are not anything. It's a lens flare. I mean, you all won't- You know how every J.J. Abrams will be able to see?
Starting point is 00:30:15 It's just a lens flare on the order. It's nothing. You do photoshop effects, generate orbs. Those photos do not do her justice. The photos don't do her justice. I can say that for sure. EVPs have been- Okay, sorry I got tripped up. We have also seen her slightly move to the side at times all on her own. She's a very beautiful doll. She has these very long golden locks of hair. EVPs have been recorded from her in the past. We believe she's a girl from around the age of nine. This is the part in a haunted doll watch where we just- It gets sad in the middle. We have tried to communicate with her and asked her how she passed. We also received one EVP saying, car. Okay. And another saying, ham. So we believe she talks about her car a lot. This is what it says. She talks about
Starting point is 00:31:16 her car a lot. If you wish to adopt her into your home, she can be yours. She also has an adorable giggle. Perhaps adorable is not what you would associate with a ghost giggle from a doll. Be prepared. Exclamation point, no fucking context whatsoever. Just says, be prepared. Make sure to put a towel in a cardboard box for her to live in. Because who knows, she needs a loving home. So don't adopt her unless you're going to be good to her. Oh, you don't fucking care. If she'll replace the- I'm going to guess $31 for this doll. You don't fucking care what kind of home it goes to. There's no screening process. By the way, $100. That's a buy it now. Thank you. My mistake. It is a beautiful doll. It is wild though. It's like, be good to her. She's like, one of my children.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Anyway, I'm going to put her up for sale on the internet. Is that how you're good to people? Do you think is putting the children for sale on the internet? Be good to her. Be prepared. Be prepared. You're prepared. And then it just says, this is another complete sentence. It just says, nice big doll. If you're worried about it being haunted, but being too small, don't worry about that here. She's a nice big doll. Ghosts got a lot of elbow room. She is about a 24-inch doll from the top of the hat down. Thank you for clarifying, because if I had gotten the doll and said, well, yeah, if you count the hat, I wanted a two-foot tall doll. I'm not going to put my own hat on. Great. Just imagine, I think for context, the eyes of the doll would be just over the top
Starting point is 00:32:50 of our daybook. Yeah. This is maybe picture it. And the orbs would be fucking crazy. This is maybe the most perplexing sentence in the whole thing. You're fucking kidding me. There's more perplexing stuff. Yeah, this one's really perplexing. She's an expensive doll. Sells for around $300 to $400. Apparently not. I mean, right? Like, apparently not, because you are selling it for $100. So like, apparently not. Does having a ghost in the doll make it worth less? Less? Is it less valuable to capture a spectral ghost? If there was an antiques roadshow where they brought on a doll, and the doll was like, I don't know, old and nice and will belong to, you know, Lincoln. And they were like, wow, I've never seen a doll in this. Is this Lincoln's? Yes. This
Starting point is 00:33:46 has got to be worth a million dollars. Well, one thing. Great condition. Beautiful doll. Big old doll. Nice, big doll. Nice, big doll. Be prepared. There's a ghost in there. Oh, are we still in a mint situation? Are we down to like a fairy? Oh, it's just like when someone cleans the patina off of the thing, and they're like, now, if there wasn't a ghost in there, yeah, it would be like $3,000 to $4,000. But with the ghost, 20 bucks. I just feel like if you're the sort of person that would be concerned about the presence of a ghost in a doll, it's more of a binary thing, right? Like, it's not going to affect the sale price. It's going to be like, no, probably not. I don't actually think so, because it's haunted, and the home is where I live. So I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Can I do Yahoo? Yeah. Yeah. Guess. Who did you just check with? Yeah. Okay. Thank you, Daddy. It's Yahoo Answers. No, not the user, but Adrian Cowell sent this one in to thank you, Adrian. It's Yahoo Answers. Well, technically, I think if you go on Yahoo to find Yahoo's for this show, you're a part of the fucking community. And I'm saying that, risking losing all of these good folks who are doing this work for us, but I call them like, I see them. User CPC26CA. This one's just fucking diarrhea. The other one at least had some direction. I am a cool cat. These are four sequential numbers. Maybe this is like a license plate. Maybe there's a
Starting point is 00:35:24 code in there. It means something. I'm not going to do this joke. Wait, we can do that? Am I allowed to bring my Rubik's Cube to a football game? Legally, yes. Should that change? Yes. Imagine you just did one of the best touchdowns ever. Uh-huh. Wait, give me a second. They fumbled it. You ran it all the way back. One yard line. You fumbled it. They ran it back. Another fumble. You ran it back. Longest touchdown run in history. You're living your dream, right? Your hands in the air. You're living it. And then you look in the stands and there's just one person like, hmm, fine. Anyway, back to my puzzle. And that person was my football teacher. My football teacher, Malcolm McDowell. All I wanted was for him to give me a certificate that said
Starting point is 00:36:44 football grandmaster. Dude's got a fucking spiral on him though. Like, I'll show you an outlier. Boom, 130 yards. That's a welcome glad well. Oh, shit. I'm sure they get that all the time. I'll go get in the box. You, you, you should, if people are, they're performers. They're putting on a show just for you. You realize that's the only point. Okay, okay. But in one four downs of football, there's only like eight seconds of football actually being played. And then it's like a half minute of like figuring out what the next one's going to be, which is astounding to me because how many variations can there possibly be? You either throw it or you run with it or you can't get right. Am I missing
Starting point is 00:37:33 something? There's so much, but it's just you, but there's a lot of down time. And then there's also, there's also the times where you hide it under your jersey and pretend you're pregnant. That's a fourth category is I think fun them ups. Like, are we going to run past kick or do a funny, fun one? So your mighty ducks, some like a mighty ducks fun. Here go big greens. Did you guys remember there's a part in mighty ducks where Gordon Bobbitt gets mad at them for doing too many fun dust stunts? It's like, hey, Gordon, we're trying to enjoy the movie. Can you not get mad at them for having some fun with the hockey tricks? Whenever they call a timeout, which in a sport, if you call a timeout, that's basically you saying like, we fucked up and we need to fix it, right? And
Starting point is 00:38:19 that's disrespectful of my time in the stands. I want to have some busy work. I want to, if not, have the whole time to play a game of Pokemon trading cards, at least get my deck in order, at least solve one face of the Rubik's cube. Are we running a danger, though, going up on the jumbotron of the first, first period? Look at this nerdlinger. And then second period, let's check back at, oh, yikes, having a rough time there, Griffin. It's all about the snake pattern. Do you need me to come down there and do it for you? And then you see, you see one of the angels in the outfield behind him like, no, he's got it. He can do it. Okay, now turn it. No, what was it? Let me do it. Shit. God, not mine. I can't figure those. Those are wild. I don't know. Shit about
Starting point is 00:39:07 those things. You know what I mean? Those, the devil. Surprise. Do we have time for one? We're not leaving. Yeah, we're not leaving. Yeah, we're just going to pee. I can do it. I actually have a very good yahoo here. If I can do two in a row, that's okay with everybody here. I kid you not, Adrian Kells also sent this one in, absolutely fucking crushed it. It's by question mark, probably a different one. This time I think it was, it didn't load, because it's a bad website. They asked, what are we going to have for breakfast in 100 years from now? Thanks. Whatever it is, it's going to have good hot dog syrup on it. What I really like is I, obviously they're asking like human beings, but what it could also be is
Starting point is 00:40:06 like, Hey, what do you guys want to have for breakfast 100 years from now? I just want to start planning now. Go ahead and get it out in front of it. I may be weird to think it's human beings because it could also be talking to, the answer could be us by robots. Right. Humans. But assuming, as I'm all humans and we're still ruling shit 100 years from now, no way. What are we going to eat 100 years in the future? Answer obvious ones, computer eggs. That's one side of those eggs. Computers like cyber cyberbacon cyberbacon. Oh man, Amazon toast. I hope that in 100 years, I will be able to vape all my meals. That is why I want to get vape
Starting point is 00:40:58 nutrients. I want vape. I don't just want vape nutrients. I want vape satisfaction. I want a feeling. We went to Edith's cafe with the French stuff. As good as hell. As good as hell, but I wish I had vaped it. I want that level of satisfaction. What I want, and I know this is a long way off, but what I want is a drone that will come to me and like bring me French toast while I sleep and open my mouth and put it in my mouth, move my chin up and down, massage my throat so I swallow it. And it would need to know your favorite song that it could play you if you wake up in the middle of this process. And a super sharp hypodermic needle. So you wouldn't even notice the injection going in with the nanobots. I mean, it'll be imagery, right?
Starting point is 00:41:50 Oh, it just flashes at you. Pictures of the food. Oh, what a good picture. What a good picture. A delicious picture. Thank you the future. What if you could? Oh, yeah. Everybody stand back. Just got it. Stand back. He's about to dunk. Please don't. If you're sitting in the first three rows, you make it wet. Please don't make a big deal out of it. Please. Please stop. Don't make a big deal out of it. Can we get the house lights up? I'm gonna take a big drink. No, put the house lights on. No, let him see it. Let him see it. I'm not looking. You can't make me look. Jesse, you got to look, dog. It's going to be so good. Your great joke is going to. All right. Now count it down. I can't wait. Listen before I say this one.
Starting point is 00:42:47 Let y'all know we got merch in the lobby. Oh, yeah, we're gonna. Oh, let's do that. Let's walk out after this. We're going to come back after an intermission and do audience questions. We're going to have a lot of fun in the second half of the show after we get the great walk off from Justin's joke, which better not stink. So may she try to see it in the second half? So, yeah. Justin, that joke, and let's get ready. Wouldn't it be great if... Wouldn't it be great if you could eat a jib of jib? Hey, everybody, it's Griffin, and I'm here editing the episode while the other boys are
Starting point is 00:43:39 out playing with the kite, even though it's my birthday and I'm the one who should be out there with the kite. And they're the ones who are actually out there doing, you know, kite stunts. And that's my favorite thing, but whatever. I'm going to do the ads real quick and let you get back to the rest of the episode. Thank you to Dallas and Houston for having us this past weekend. Sorry, the episode's a bit late. We didn't get it up yesterday because we were still traveling, and then I got it up late today because it's my frickin' birthday, so huff it if you got a problem. I'm sorry. Anyway, our first ad here is for Zip Recruiter. Are you hiring because posting your job to job sites and waiting,

Hey, can you do me a favor for this Jumbotron? Can you listen to Lawn Care and toss them a like on the book, which I guess means Facebook, or just get any book and open it up to a random page and write how much you like Lawn Care. That's a band. This is actually also kind of a message for
Starting point is 00:46:12 the band Lawn Care. They say, thank you for showing me Mbim Bam and for being the most righteous band. I hope everyone checks out your good, good music, and I promise I'll move to Pittsburgh someday. I miss all of you dearly, and I hope you continue to be nice and try hard. Spider House Forever love the Baja Blasters. Is that another band? That's also a very, very good band name. Also, who sold a house to a spider? What did they pay him with? Dead flies? Anyway, this is a message for Rhiannon, and it's from Raman, who says, happy birthday, sweetie, or maybe Memorial Day or National Strawberry rhubarb pi day, which is June 9th. Mark your calendars. Whatever is appropriate right now. Thanks for introducing me to the MacRoy. So now
Starting point is 00:46:56 we have a podcast empire to obsess about and to alienate any friends who don't listen to this wonderful family. That's their problem, not ours. Could you make it your problem and like talk to them? No, you've done enough. Thank you so much for supporting the show, and thank you to everybody who helped support the show during the Max Fund Drive. You all, once again, year after year crushed it, and we appreciate you all so much. And yeah, we've got, if you missed out on our shows here in Dallas and Houston, we got shows coming up all over this nation of ours. You can find links at macroyshows.com slash tours, just just about to head up to St. Louis and Detroit and Columbus. So that's coming up real soon. So if you live near there and want to come see us, there's,
Starting point is 00:47:36 I think tickets still available to all three at macroyshows.com slash tours. And yeah, I'm going to let you get back to the rest of the episode. Hope you enjoy it and we'll be back next week. Bye. How's it going, everyone? I'm Oliver Wang. And I'm Morgan Rhodes. We have a brand new show on the Max Fund Fund network that we'd love to share with you. It's called Heat Rocks. Morgan, we should probably explain what a heat rock is. It is a banger, a fire track, true fire. Right, dope album. Each episode, we will bring on a special guest to join us to talk about one of their heat rocks. It might be a musician, a writer, maybe a scholar. I mean, I would have been happy to just talk to you about your heat rocks, but this is a different show. Yeah, I think people
Starting point is 00:48:13 might enjoy hearing maybe the guests instead. To do that, you'll have to go to maximumfund.org. So if you want to talk about hot music, you should check us out. Heat Rocks. It's time to enter the gauntlet. And for us, lapladors. The gauntlet is our gauntlet. It's not your gauntlet. It's not a competition, although there will be a winner and there will be a loser. I'll do the pitch. So here's the thing. We're going to choose two people to come to the microphones. They are going to tell us their names. If they want to give us their pronouns, if they're comfortable with that, we love that. If you, if you see that as a hilarious rich vein
Starting point is 00:48:55 of goofs, don't. That won't, that won't go well for you. Trust me. And let me double down on that. If you then see Griffin saying, don't make a joke of it as a challenge of like, oh, but I think I still can. We don't. We are in the meat space. This is not Twitter. We have microphones here. So the, and you'll give us your questions. And we will choose the person, not the person with like the zaniest or the funniest, just the person we can help the most. Because honestly, our toolbox, you can't see it. It's behind the table. It's fairly small. It's unlimited. Also, two rules. Other rules. You know the first one? That was no bummers. If you have trouble making out a million voices at once. That's right.
Starting point is 00:49:45 There's a million people here. You all have set the world attendance record for, and number two, Mark Marin. Number two, our constant enemy. And number two, have it be a question and not just like a fun story or like a fun thing you saw. Okay. If the ending of your question is, am I good? That's not a question. Okay. Can we get house lights up? And we're going to start picking folks. Oh, don't get up and dance around. We just raise your hand. Wow. It's a big theater. Full house lights, I think. And maybe a little bit less stage lights. Okay. Hey, what's up? Hi. I'm Sarah. I'm super nervous. It's okay, Sarah. You got this. So my husband and I go to our local grocery store,
Starting point is 00:50:26 pretty regularly buy groceries. Good thing that you're there for sure. We can no longer go to the meat and seafood counter there because the employee that is always there does not know how that exchange is supposed to work. Well, that seems curious. Money for meat has been my understanding. What is their understanding? They hand you money. Do you have meat for me? I don't know where we get the meat. I just assume we buy it from people who come here. It's a trading booth. I'm like an NPC in a role-playing game. Yes, I will take your stringy buzzard meat. Here's 20 coin. So it's worse than that, actually. It's worse than that. That was a joke. Go on. So my husband and I didn't realize that this was happening to both of us
Starting point is 00:51:19 until we both came home and complained about it. We'll ask for our meat, for our seafood, and he'll come out to give it to us. And when we go to grab for it, he'll pull it back and go too slow. Every time? Every time. Like, we separately can count three or four times a piece. Okay, Sarah, just hang tight, Sarah. You've been through a lot, okay? Hang on. Just hang in there one more second. Okay. All right. This is really scary. Wow. How's that? I know. Imagine being us. Good point. So my name's Adam. I use they, them, pronouns. What's up, Adam? So my question is kind of weird. So for preface, my dad's super affirming.
Starting point is 00:52:15 It's not the first time I've come out to him before. I'm really exceedingly queer in every way. But my question is, though, is I have yet to come out to him as gender fluid. Now, the thing is about coming out is that it's always a weird process, even when it's affirming, and I know the person's going to be affirming. So my question is, what's a really funny way to come out to my dad as gender fluid? All right. Bye, Justin. I'm trying to come up with questions we're less equipped to answer, Adam. And frankly, right now, I'm drawing a blank. Hold on. Okay. Let me check the toolbox. Hold on. Let me look at the toolbox one sec. Oh, no, there's just a sandwich in here. Why didn't we only bring a sandwich?
Starting point is 00:53:01 Oh, no. That's a, that's a toffee. Adam, that's so hard because you have to understand you're asking us to come up with funny, Adam, I don't add. We're either thinking about jiff and jiff again. Yeah. And here's the thing. One day you'll be able to eat the jiff of jiff. If that's still, if that's become memetic yet, maybe that's it. Lead with that. When you're talking to your dad, like, Hey, dad, what if one day dad, I have one also? Yeah, we're going to help Adam real quick. Just go to your dad and say, Listen, I have two really funny things to tell you. You're gonna love them both equally. The second one isn't a joke. And the first one is they're not both funny. Okay, let me start over dad. I'm sorry. Just let me leave the room and walk back in.
Starting point is 00:53:53 You're reading like this off a sheet of paper that you've transcribed of this exact podcast episode. And I think that's going to go real good. So thank you, Adam. We're doing both. Yeah, we're doing both. Adam. Thank you, Adam. Adam, thank you so much. Does that help? Wait, hold on. Adam, does that help? Maybe. Thank you, Adam. You are going to have to train mind, body, so that here's my $20. Let me get those little shrimp. And he goes, All right, here you go. Wow. And then he says, You're ready. And then you have to work. Now, you're the meat. Yeah. My husband's actually tried that move to like... And it did not go over. Damn, the bag ramp to beef everywhere. Okay, here's what you're saying. It's literally impossible to be faster than this.
Starting point is 00:54:58 We either have to go out of our way to go to a different grocery store or become vegetarians. Wow. One of my favorite things about having a baby is to see humanity condensed into... Because it's as much personal, but in a very small thing. And now when people do that, like, my baby's face is what every human being feels when that happens, but unfiltered and it's just... And it's the best because it's like, Yeah, that's what I feel. Hey, you're going to need, if reflexes aren't getting it done. And I still think y'all could push it a little bit harder. You're going to need like a blowgun with some sort of neurotoxic. Or you're going to have to partner with your husband, right? So you're standing there, the person reaches out,
Starting point is 00:56:00 then what's that? Your husband comes out. And the meat, and the meat salesman goes, clever folks. And then you eat him. No, not like that. No way. Does that help? Or what if, what if... And you just wait. Yeah. Ice them out. Or you have your own bag of meat that you brought from home and you hold it up. And he's like, And you say same time. And like Indiana Jones it. Okay. He goes back to get the meat from the meat room. When he goes back, you're not there. Guess that's his problem now. Do any of those help? I like Travis's idea. Yeah. Well, hey, we're picking winners. You're not. Sit down, Sarah. Classic, Sarah. All right. I got... Should we pick? Can we pick two balcony people?
Starting point is 00:57:12 Let's do balcony people and y'all start making your way down. We'll get you all next. How about just front their red jacket? Yeah. Come on down. I'm seeing... Let's see. Whoa. Some people are... You know what? Way up there, next to the person waving their jacket. Oh, God. Y'all, we gotta make examples. Sorry. Okay. So my name's David. Yes. And that is the correct response. Not a great start, David, but keep going. About a week ago, I was eating breakfast at Edith's. Oh, no. Nice. Yeah. And an elderly man. What you did? The rooklet. Oh, yeah. My dad had that. Dad had that. Dad, how are you feeling? He says bad. Okay. So there was an elderly man that said next to my wife and I wearing a red jacket
Starting point is 00:58:15 approximately the same color and size as fashionable. Okay. Real quick. The rest of the question is not going to be something mean about the red jacket, right? Not at all. Okay. Good. Because I'm very jealous of the red jacket if I had it right now, I'd wear it. Go ahead. So that's why I started up a conversation with him and I found out he was a retired marine. Cool. Cool. Okay. And he said that his kids couldn't come with him on a trip to Hawaii and he invited my wife and I. Oh, what? Oh, did he now? Hold on. Huh. The only like little thing was I would have... Sorry. There's just one. You just had one thing. I got like 11 off the, off the dome. So this is like a marines only resort at Hawaii and it would, it would cost us...
Starting point is 00:59:09 It would cost us $100 a person. Should we go? Okay. What I love here... Stop, stop, stop. We'll get around to it. We have another question. Hello. Hello. Hi. I'm Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Mine's not quite that weird. Okay. So I find myself... So I asked these two people to go to a marine vacation. Okay. Go ahead, Sarah. I find myself in a similar situation to you in that I work with two of my sisters. Okay. And my question is, how do I, in the professional world, what's the best way to establish your dominance as Alpha sibling? Like... I got this, guys. The cool one, the funny one, the smart one. I want that to be me. Die your hair purple. Oh. Oh. That didn't hurt. I mean, you just do the best work.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Boo. You're getting in such a situation. I could teach you some pretty good jokes about pictures of peanut butter. That you could maybe trot out. Kind of what I'm bringing to the table. Okay. I think the Hawaii one has a silent call. I think we already helped Sarah so much. There's like three things that you can do right now. Actionable items. Thank you so much. Thank you, Sarah. Okay. We did our best. Okay. Here's what I want you to break down for me. Okay. And I'm going to lay out how I think it went. And you tell me if I'm correct. Do you want to go with me? It's $100 a person. And we leave in May. Are you in? I'm serious. Are you in? We leave in May and I come
Starting point is 01:01:16 back in June. I mean, we all come back in June. What did I say? What did you say? I'm sorry. How serious was this offer? It felt pretty serious. And he set like a secondary meeting place. If we like, if I wanted to follow through, he was like, the Elks have a dinner at the first, like the last Friday of every month. Oh, that's where he's going to get you. He's not going to play in Hawaii. Oh, no, that would be cost prohibitive. He can get you at the Elks Lodge. So wait, is travel included? He didn't say. Okay. So no. Because if he had that to pitch, he wouldn't have got that in his quiver, right? He would have brought and I'm like an aisle fly you. Like I at that point, I might say yes. Do you think maybe he's putting together a music
Starting point is 01:02:06 festival, like a fire island, fire, fire, fire festival, fire festival kind of thing where it's like, listen, I'm just trying to get this off the ground. I know young people love music for $100. You can come to my new festival that I'm doing with jaw roll. That's right, jaw rolls back in the game. He will not be defeated. He's very sorry. $100 is a good price. It's a good price for all the bands. What bands are going to be there? The flaming laps, the strucks, the bottles. Who is that supposed to be? But the Beatles. Why would that be there? Because they were there. It's a good band cover band. Justin ran out of bands he knew about. Jimmy buffet. Good. Very good. Don't. Don't. Got you. Did you? Hey, wait, just to clarify.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Did you need us to tell you don't? You were good on that before, right? It's a little affirmation. You made the right call. All right, balcony heroes. Let's begin on this side. I'm sorry about the height of the microphone. There. Yes. That's not very nice. Sorry. I mean, I didn't said it. I'm sorry. So I'm a mortuary student. Sorry. I need a funeral director in training. No, but your name. Not your job title. Name. Name. Oh, Fallon. Fallon. Hello. Fallon. Like Jimmy Fallon. Okay, cool. I'm sorry that when people miss hearing you, you have to then say the follow-up. Thank you just said. Because Fallon is a very cool name. All right, go ahead. I can't hear anything anyways. Okay. Okay. I have this slight problem with when I'm public speaking or speaking in
Starting point is 01:03:59 general. I have vocal fry. My voice cracks a lot. And I'm not sure what I should do if that ever happens when I'm in the middle of a funeral. Oh, I see. Yeah. So if you'd like to pay your last respects, please come up to the, okay. I can do it on purpose. Okay. Okay. But I often do it on accident. Okay. And I don't want them to be like Bobcat Gulfway is presenting our funeral. Yeah. I would love to have Bobcat Gulfway at mind. Okay. Okay, Fallon. Thank you. Let's hear our other question. Hello. Hello. I'm Scott. I'm Scott. I am also a really socially anxious college student. Perfect. I thought you're gonna say also a mortuary student in Ukraine. But I'm a bitter rival of the person across. They get all the good dead bodies. Why don't we get the good dead bodies?
Starting point is 01:05:09 There's a real mortuary in town. All right. So Scott. All right. So I really love like film and music criticism and all of that stuff. And the problem is I love to bring this up and have, you know, discussions about, hey, I thought the editing in this was really interesting and subversive in a lot of cool ways. And most people are like, I thought that movie was fine. So the question is, how do I sell myself and not end up just making it sound like I hate their movie because I had a lot of thoughts about it. Are you talking to like Spielberg? No. You're not talking to them about family. No, that's a good question. Other people, because I need to make friends and I don't have those. You want to have deeper conversations. Yeah. You want to be friends with
Starting point is 01:05:54 Steven Spielberg? And you want us to help you with that? No, I want to be friends with Bobcat Gulfway as the point. Okay. It all ties together. Thank you. Thank you, Scott, for tying that bit back together. That was fantastic. I mean, if you're looking for a place to go to have more, and this will be quick, more in-depth conversations about movies and music, my experience has been literally go to any non-Starbucks coffee shop and wait about four seconds. I will also say right across the street, I'm pretty sure it's a college and they probably have some kind of like feeling that actually it's not even across the street. I think we're technically in it. So that, but also real quick answer. Establish yourself in the group as like the person who
Starting point is 01:06:42 knows why a thing is, because like I have friends that like know about music and I'll hear a song and I'll look at them and say, why do I like that? Oh, it's because the way that this like diminishes and resolves itself is very satisfying. And some people that I'm like, okay, great. Thank you very much. And so being a resource for information like that can like really be useful in a conversation, much better to be a resource than kind of like force that information onto someone else. You got to wait for your opportunity. Yes. Yeah. That's a very good point. The problem there is you don't just go up to people like, I'm your resource now. Open me up. I'm an encyclopedia. You could try it. Yeah. Yeah, you could try it. What did you need to know? This, let's thank you very much. I hope
Starting point is 01:07:23 we helped even a little bit. God, thank you. All right. I'm going to get, I'm going to get real for a second. I think, well, first of all, this is the first time and maybe the closest proximity to me dunking on a profession as a goof in an episode of the podcast and then being confronted by a practitioner of that profession. I'm sorry that I made jokes about funeral directors. I heard a lot about it the next day. It was all fun and games. Apparently it must not have been a very good goof because nobody here seems to remember that I did it. So that being said, I think something like busting out a gnar vocal fry in the middle of like a funeral speech is actually a pretty great thing because the folks who are there are very sad and usually usually very sad. And whenever something
Starting point is 01:08:12 happens that is like a funny memory of that day during a set. No, I'm serious. Whenever something funny happens during like a very sad thing that like breaks the tension of it, like best case scenario, that's the stuff you remember from a funeral. And so a hundred percent serious, like that's a good thing that you were providing a moment of like levity, even though you're the butt of the joke, maybe a little bit. If it's like a funny memory that they get to take home, then that's a good thing. This is absolutely true because it's the kind of thing where in the moment, it might feel inappropriate, but 10 years later is the thing like, Hey, do you remember? Yeah, I do. And like, you have a strange kind of fond memory. You'll be the most powerful inside joke between
Starting point is 01:08:51 these two people who are experiencing the most bittersweet moment of their life ever. And that sucks for you, but it's so good for them. To break our own rule for a moment, when we were at our mom's viewing, one of our extended relatives came up to us and said, I'm so sorry. And I, without really thinking about it, said, we don't blame you. And I'm pretty sure I was just being a dick, because I thought I'd earned it. There was like, that's what I remember the most from that day. And that's good because there was a lot of bummer shit that he could remember the most. There was somebody who walked up to me and said, your mom's in heaven, and she can't wait for you to get there. Excuse me? She has to. Anyway, I think, I think providing something memorable like
Starting point is 01:09:58 that is going to make, is going to make the day easier for people. And honestly, that should be a focus of your profession from now on. Slapstick, I think a hundred... Here's your coffee. I was self-imposed. I was like, oh, a pie in the face to the breed, but like you like fall. And this is like, don't mind me, everybody. There's probably going to be one out of a hundred people who are like so disrespectful. And the other one would be like, they ripped a big beefy in the middle of it. Guys, guys, patch sadams. All right. Does that help? Beyond. Okay. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you, Val.
Starting point is 01:10:51 To wrap up. Yeah, that is going to do it for us. Hey, seriously, you all, thank you so much. You guys have been so cool. Yeah. Tonight and yesterday, these two Dallas shows been the only time that people have like started chance before the show. And this is our first live show since January. Yeah. So a little bit of the yips. And it's really nice. What are we doing January? That was... No, sorry, December. December. Sheesh. Okay. So anyway, we had to shake off some of the rust and you all have been so gracious and kind and thank you so much. And on an equally sincere note, if y'all can get to Houston, if y'all just want to get tickets and come or get tickets and don't

Is bad stuff happening too fast for you to process? Don't you wish there was an easy way to find out about only the most important info you need? Hi, we're Lisa and Emily. Why don't you try our podcast, Baby Geniuses. On each episode of our podcast, we discuss a weird Wikipedia page such as Flatulence Humor, Climato, Catalan Witches, Slippy the Microsoft Office Helper, Death During Consensual Sex, and The Talking Mongoose. We ask each other stupid questions. If you got a packet with like 300 seeds in it, what kind of plant
Starting point is 01:15:01 would you choose the seeds to be? That felt like you were assigned to ask me a question and there were certain words you weren't allowed to use. We talk about Martha Stewart, her pony, and other celebrity horse news. Benchunch. Every other week on Maximum Fun with Baby Geniuses.
